quilt about them and their interests. They got to choose the design and colors. I made them another quilt for their 21st birthdays of my choosing. I used to host a little church quilt group. I would teach a new concept each week, then everyone worked on their current project. I spread my quilting disease to ten friends, at least. There doesn't seem to be a cure for it. |

![]() Firethistle Copyright 2009 All rights are reserved. I wanted to see a block crammed full of stars, yet be easy to piece. |
![]() Milky Way Copyright 2009. All rights are reserved. This is a navy and lemon queen-size bed quilt, a variation of Milky Way. I modified the block by splitting the 'legs' and making them 2 shades of yellow to produce movement and interest. The quilt is machine pieced and hand quilted every half inch in a swirling design. |

![]() Country Store Copyright 2009. All rights are reserved. I love tilted blocks. Though very simple, they go great with homespun flannels for a cozy lodge feel. |
![]() Coffee Dreams Copyright 2009. All rights are reserved. "Coffee Dreams" popped into my head while looking out the window. The 'land' and borders are machine pieced, the rest is hand appliqued. It has interesting quilt designs, especially the random spoons in the brown border. I have made a couple other coffee quilts, and have at least two more in my head. |

![]() Copyright 2009.All rights are reserved. I once saw a picture of an old-timey quilt that had 100 coffee cups. I fell in love with it, but couldn't imagine the tedium of making that many blocks. So I made only a wimpy effort of 25 15" giant cups, pieced, as in the bottom of the photo. I wasn't satisfied until, years later, I hand appliqued 4" blocks, and made 196 of them! It has my 'signature' rainbow sashing. It was fun to make. |

![]() Twister Copyright 2009. All rights are reserved. This is my first art quilt. It's an 'arial' view of a tornado made from "corner post", or "farmer's daughter" blocks. Each block is 3/4 larger than the one before, and I'm told it's arranged in an Archemede's Spiral. (What? An algebra-flunky doing something so mathematically elegant?) This quilt is my (then) life of controlled chaos, represented by a nod to the Wizard of Oz story. It is embellished with symbols of my life such as tiny pictures of my family, bible, purse (with real money in it), plus cows, like the one in the movie. There are beads and metallic threads of several kinds. I made a polymer clay Toto, and there's even an 18" piece of barbed wire on the left edge. |

![]() Copyright 2009.All rights are reserved. This is a simple 9 Patch quilt, except the center square is a "biscuit": made of a larger square and pinched in the center of each center seam. So if 8 squares are 3", then the center one might be 5", and pinched (or folded or pleated) so their sides are each 3" as well. |

![]() Heidi's Freedom Quilt Copyright 2009. All rights are reserved. I made this quilt for my daughter, to commemorate turning 21 years old. She worked in the florist industry, so all the white squares are machine embroidered with flowers of the world. I was surprised by the secondary design. |
